Will the water freeze in below freezing temps?

Drinkwell has created a design which breaks physics, so you needn't worry about water freezing even in temperatures as low as 0 Kelvin!

I use this drinkwell inside my home. If using mainly outside and the temps are favorable for freezing or lower that freezing would be more favorable.

I had the same question as my dogs stay outside during the winter in inulated doghouses but am constantly having to fill their heated water bowls. Unfortunately, according to the Drinkwell site: "...this durable fountain can be placed inside the home or outdoors when temperatures are above 40°F." so doesn;t look like they hold much faith in the fountain's ability to move the water around enough to prevent freezing anywhere close to 32F. :(http://store.petfountain.com/drinkwell-outdoor-dog-fountain

I have not tested this filter but the question isn't stupid like the "breaking physics" answer indicated. The water has energy imparted through the pump and the moving water is much harder to freeze. There is no exact answer without qualifications: "it depends on how low the temperature is and how long you will be leaving it in those temperatures." There may even be parts in the pumping mechanism that are extremely prone to freezing (like a thin hose without insulation that would seize the kinetic energy injection mechanism before it had a chance to postpone the freezing in the larger reservoir. Quick answer: Yes, this will freeze in sub-zero temperatures, eventually. Longer answer: It is likely that this will freeze rapidly because the pump likely has a hose that will freeze like pipes in a house. If sufficiently insulated, this could postpone the freezing but would likely not impart enough constant kinetic energy to the water to keep it from freezing forever. It's possible that the pump is strong enough that there would be an effect similar to what you see when fountains freeze but it's unlikely that it's well insulated and strong enough to do this. I hope this was helpful.

No, it will not prevent that. It certainly cools but not to a temperature below freezing. It would certainly slow the melting of ice down compared to leaving the ice in just a non-cooled container.

Check the temperature of the freezer. It needs to be well below freezing before the ice maker will work. Around 0 to 10 degrees F.

Both work fine. Water is not as messy. Don't know what to tell you about freezing, I live in Florida.

here in southeast texas we only have a few freezes a year. i have had no issues though. any faucet that is metal, will need to be wrapped in any extensive freezing environment. plastic even more so.

As far as I know yes, but my water only comes out a certain temp here, I have no control on how cold it gets.

Good question. We live in Minnesota. So far our temps have not gotten below freezing. However, the plunger is very "loose" -- it is not a tight fit like if it were screwed in.

No..i believe it would freeze..it needs to get wet to stretch so it would hold a knott...by that alone if water enters it it would freeze..they do sell line for ice fishing tho..

Not above freezing. Regardless, if you drop it once, it will crack. For the price, your better off getting three similar bottles from Walmart.

Anything above the freezing temperature of the liquid you are using will work. I have used this pump with water from 50degF to 150degF without issues

Not at all.. it takes a bit for it to freeze properly but after the first three it will run pretty well. Check the water exhaust regularly.

I have had no issues with water as far as cold my lowest temp to date has been 30 degrees but the camera has performed very well since I have had it about 2 months

Absolutely!!! I love mine, I push them out from the back, if they are really frozen I run the bottom under warm water. Love mine, never use anything else!!!

No, but liquids expand when frozen so leave a couple of inches of headroom good luck!

The coldness depends on the water temperature. However, even room temperature water works well. The cooling should be immediate.

Yes, it freezes and the fountain will crack. Do not leave it out once the weather starts getting cold.

Not sure yet, as this will be my first winter using the product. But, like any plumbing, as long as the water flows through the pipe, you shouldn't have issues with freezing or bursting pipe, maybe just turn the amount up a bit more to a fast drip.
